[Dovecot] dovecot ignoring config file contents -- istream.c problem?
by pavol marko 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Hello! This is my first time trying to run dovecot so maybe I've overlooked something, but I'm having a hard time running dovecot. First of all, it's worth noting that I'm trying to run dovecot on an embedded platform: the target architecture is mipsel; I have patches for the 2.4.18 kernel with special support for the board so I'm still using the 2.4.18 kernel. My C library is uClibc (I forget which version; will look it up later). The compiler I'm using is GCC 2.96. Anyway, after some struggling, I got dovecot to compile. These are my configure options: ./configure --prefix=/home/marko/ovis/myfirm/tmp/ --build=i686-linux --host=mipsel-uclibc-linux --disable-static --disable-rpath --disable-ipv6 --with-pic --with-notify=none --without-shadow --without-pam --with-checkpassword --without-bsdauth --without-vpopmail --without-ssl --without-pop3d --without-docs dovecot compiles and runs, but no matter what I put in dovecot.conf, it says something like "SSL support not build in but ssl_disable=no". I've even tried putting garbage into the config file (like hello=test ; on my desktop dovecot complains on that line, it is completly ignored on my embedded device). But when I delete the config file, dovecot complains. So I've done some printf-debugging in lib-settings/settings.c, and fount out that: control flow reaches the line input = i_stream_create_file(fd, default_pool, 2048, TRUE); but then no single iteration of the while loop is executed. Do you have any idea what could be wrong here? Any help is greatly appreciated ! Thank you. Pavol Marko

[Dovecot] Quotas with MySQL
by Neil Smith 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Hello, I've had a look through past messages and I think this has been brought up but I'm not sure what the outcome of it was. I'm trying to use quotas with a MySQL dict backend. I am using Dovecot version 1.0.rc6-1 from the Debian Testing package on a x86 machine. My dovecot.conf file has the following entries which I took from the Wiki: dict { quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf } plugin { quota = dict:storage=10240 proxy::quotadict } and my dovecot-dict-quota.conf looks like the following, again from the Wiki: connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mail user=<user> password=<passwd> table = quota select_field = current where_field = path username_field = username and my MySQL table is as follows: create table quota ( username varchar(255) not null, path varchar(255) not null, current integer, primary key (username, path) ); Now with this setup, the query for looking up the current quota appears in the MySQL logs as: SELECT current FROM quota WHERE path = 'quota/storage' AND username = 'neil(a)example.com' and the query for Inserting/Updating the quota is: BEGIN;INSERT INTO quota (current, path, username ) VALUES ('quota/storage', 0, 'neil(a)example.com') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE current = current + 0;COMMIT With latter query, it appears to be trying to insert 'quota/storage' into `current` and 0 into `path`. This seems to be the wrong way around. Is that correct? If I change my dovecot-dict-quota.conf file to read: connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mail user=<user> password=<passwd> table = quota select_field = path where_field = current username_field = username the two queries now look like: SELECT path FROM quota WHERE current = 'quota/storage' AND username = 'neil(a)example.com' and BEGIN;INSERT INTO quota (path, current, username ) VALUES ('quota/storage', 0, 'neil(a)example.com') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE current = current + 0;COMMIT Although the latter query now works as expected and does update the quota in the database, the former query is now incorrect. Is this a problem with my configuration or is it a bug? If a bug, has it been corrected in Version 1.0.rc7? Thank you all. Neil

[Dovecot] Using Dovecot SASL with postfix
by Jonathan Stewart 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

I'm trying to use Dovecot SASL with postfix 2.3.3 and when trying to send mail I get the debug output below. I don't know enough about whats going on to know where the problem is but something clearly is not right. I would send the configurations for postfix and dovecot except they are clearly talking to each other so I kinda doubt its a configuration issue. The machine can afford to be down for an hour or two at a time for testing stuff if needed. Sep 6 12:04:10 server postfix/smtpd[13555]: connect from mobile-166-137-248-219.mycingular.net[166.137.248.219] Sep 6 12:04:17 server dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=smtp Sep 6 12:04:17 server dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 Sep 6 12:04:18 server dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT 1 jonathan Sep 6 12:04:18 server dovecot: auth(default): plain(?): invalid input Sep 6 12:04:19 server dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 Sep 6 12:04:19 server postfix/smtpd[13555]: warning: mobile-166-137-248-219.mycingular.net[166.137.248.219]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: Sep 6 12:04:20 server postfix/smtpd[13555]: lost connection after AUTH from mobile-166-137-248-219.mycingular.net[166.137.248.219] Sep 6 12:04:20 server postfix/smtpd[13555]: disconnect from mobile-166-137-248-219.mycingular.net[166.137.248.219] A working auth looks like this, I'm thinking that IMAP versus SMTP should not be *too* big a difference in this case.

[Dovecot] configuration issues / virtual users
by Zbigniew Szalbot 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Hello, It is my first post on this list and I hope someone will be able to help. I have installed dovecot on FreeBSD 6.1. Everything works fine but I wanted to create a way to accept mail to a few virual users and decied to use and example from http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualhostingWithExim auth = default auth_userdb = static uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/dovecot/users/%u auth_passdb = passwd-file /home/dovecot/passwd auth_user = dovecot I altered the uid and gid and made sure I have the directories ready and passwd file ok. I altered the conf file to read the following: userdb static { # Template for settings. Can return anything a userdb could normally # return, eg.: uid, gid, home, mail, nice # # A few examples: # # args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/var/mail/%u # args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/%u mail=mbox:/home/%u/mail nice=10 # #args = # dovecot virtual users auth_userdb = static uid=1003 gid=1003 home=/home/dovecot/users/%u auth_passdb = passwd-file /home/dovecot/passwd auth_user = dovecot ) However, dovecot complains: Error: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 752: Unknown setting: auth_userdb Where did I go wrong? I hope someone can help me. Thanks! Warm regards from Poland, Zbyszek

[Dovecot] Strange log entry???
by Bill Landry 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Although everything appears to be working fine, I see the following entry in my log file each time someone logs on via the IMAPS service (all other services are disables: POP, IMAP, etc.): ========== Sep 6 02:57:00 mgw1 dovecot: Logins with login process UID xxxx (user someone(a)example.com) not permitted (see login_user in config file). ========== Any idea what this log entry means and is there a config setting I need to adjust to stop these log entries (Dovecot version 1.0.rc7)? Thanks, Bill
